Stuff Narcos Like
The recent arrest of el JJ, accused of shooting a soccer player in a Mexico City bar restroom (and also of running a drug ring) brought about a strange sense of deja vu. Why? He was wearing the same outfit as accused narco la Barbie. Which brings me to... stuff narcos like:
1. Polo shirts
Not only do el JJ and la Barbie have the same exact shirt, la Barbie also has a similar one in green. Maybe there was a two-for-one deal? If so, he should have told el JJ about it. (Also, apparently they were also both wearing Nikes. Yay for the Oregon economy!!)

2. Ford Lobos
Apparently sales of this truck are down in Mexico because people are afraid of being mistaken for narcos. Now when I see one on the road, I give it a wide berth.
3. A certain gym in Mexico City that shall remain nameless
I heard this on a radio show yesterday — the smart-alecky host said every time a narco in Mexico City is arrested, this place loses a member. Ha! I don't blame them. It's a pretty awesome gym, especially if you're into sports and live in this city, if you catch my drift.
Well, that's a start! What am I forgetting? What else do narcos like?

Apparently, narcos like totally un-menacing names. El JJ? OOOOH, scary! La Barbie? Shivering in my boots here, narco!

Nice catch on the shirt!! I had not really noticed! I think they also share a smug face, like saying, "yeah, I am really powerful, have lots of money and will probably get out of this mess soon...".
Also, if we could take a look into their gun stash, we could see lots of gold plated guns, with diamonds....
You know that in different parts of Mexico, the narco guys have different names? In Tamaulipas they are called "mañosos", because they belong to "la maña" and in Sinaloa, they are called "buchones" (pronounced, northern accent: 'bushones'), that referes to something or someone heavily adorned, well, tacky... and the women of the buchones... yeah, you got it! "Buchonas"!!! ;D
